Pappy K's replaces Legends Sports Bar & Grille and Buck Wild's Rode House in a location that over the years has housed several concepts including Wonderful Wanda's.

The hotel's general manager David Harkness said the change came about because the restaurants were being underutilized, and in recent years the hotel had not done food service very consistently. The Park Inn is hoping to up its game with a better, more consistent focus on food, he added.

Pappy K's will appeal to hotel guests as well as local diners, whether they come to gather on the deck with friends or sit inside the restaurant for a date night, Harkness said.

The menu will be heavy on seafood and prime age beef such as flat iron and top sirloin. It also will include sandwiches, wings, burgers, ribs and salads.

"Adding seafood to the menu was a natural progression as the original menu didn't really have any," Harkness said.

In addition, craft beer will be an emphasis. There will be 12 beers on draft and between 30 and 40 craft beers available by bottle.

Entertainment, including live bands, DJs and national acts, will continue to be booked at Pappy K's. Ron Kamionka of Downtown After Dark who operated Buck Wild's, still has a hand at the hotel with Pappy K's booking its entertainment lineup.

Hours will be 6:30 a.m.-midnight Monday-Saturday and 6:30 a.m.-11 p.m Sunday. The bar will be open until 2 a.m., daily. Phone is 717-697-0321.
